Bug#561551: grub-pc: fails to boot with "no such partition" after upgrade from grub1

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98~20091210-1
Severity: important
During an apt-get upgrade, it installed the new grub and updated the old
one to default into chaining into the new one. It looks like the new one
just doesn't work:
Booting 'Chainload into GRUB 2'
root (hd0,1)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type is 0x83
kernel /boot/grub/core.img
[Multiboot-kludge, loadaddr=0x100000, text-and-data=0x6451, bss=0x0, entry=0
x10027c]
Welcome to GRUB!
Entrering rescue mode...
error: no such partition
grub rescue>
And at this point I can type (though it's ignoring the keyboard layout
so I can't type anything useful very easilly).
For now I can get around this by just picking not to chain into grub 2
from the menu every time I boot up...
